Re: [Chrysler300] 300K fuel pump

George-
  If you are going to replace the pump, it is a great time to check the fuel
pump push rod to be sure it has not worn - I fought a 383 in a Coronet that
about drove me crazy  as it finally wouldn't hardly run except at idle- the
cam end of the rod had worn to the point of the rod was too short to get
much of a push on the pump lever.
   After you remove the pump, pull the small allen head plug out just below
the pump opening, and drop the rod out. Compare the length of both ends, or
better yet go to a Chrysler dealer and pick one up. You may have to order
it, last I checked they were still available. Coat it in a quality wheel
bearing grease to hold it up to the cam, re-install the plug and put your
new pump in. Small part, not expensive and often overlooked. It might save a
few un-happy moments down the road. Prior to my buying the Coronet I spoke
of, previous owner put two new pumps on, a new fuel tank filter and flushed
the whole fuel tank, lines etc. without fixing his "running out of fuel at
full throttle" problem. Good luck. Joe Pierce Whitehall, Mt.

Hi, All,

Are there any tricks to replacing a fuel pump?  Anything to look out for or
avoid?  Or is it as easy as it looks?

Thanks,

George Clineman
